Why Korea Finishes in Hours, Not Weeks
Everything runs in one building on a coordinated schedule — the queueing that stretches Western screening across weeks simply doesn't exist in this model.
Planning Your Day Around the Checkup
Book a morning slot, keep the afternoon light (especially after sedation), and schedule the screening early in your Korea trip so results questions can be handled before you fly.
The IFC Morning, Hour by Hour
07:30 registration and change; labs and measurements first; imaging mid-morning across the three BIFC floors; endoscopy last so sedation recovery overlaps the final admin; physician review of same-day results before you leave. Both-endoscopy mornings run longest — plan a soft afternoon, not a flight.
Common Questions
What time should I arrive?
First slots open 07:30 — earlier arrival means earlier finish and same-day review with time to spare.
Does the one-day model include result review?
Yes for most results — that same-day review is the center's core design; pathology and genetics follow later.
How much time does sedation add?
30–60 minutes of monitored recovery, folded into the end of the morning.
Are Saturday slots available?
Yes — screening runs Saturday 07:30–12:30; weekdays offer the widest choice.
